I ordered through jpc.de as I couldn't get any other vendor to ship to the UK (******* Brexit!) so 45.37Euro + 6.09Euro P&P, then it remains to be seen whether I get stung for duty/tax gathering fee, so I'm guessing it'll be around £45 with no tax/fee or circa £66 with tax/fee. But I did like what he was playing from the youtube video, nicely different

I thought £135 spent, was allowed before any tax on goods ordered to the UK, from EU?

Sadly no, any goods under £135 have to have VAT paid when imported, over £135 they add import duty as well including on P&P (then add VAT, so tax on tax!)

oh so very true!

Plus I've only Atmos via my Smyth A16 Realiser and its 'playing up'! Need to re-do the SW update I suspect.

................. I've just listened to the BDA in the Perry Farrell box as it was sticking out of the mountain and caught my attention, and I've had that unopened for what must be 3 years! There are quite a few I bought in early 2019 unopened, as that was when my mother was ill and I was up there helping look after her. There are probably some from before then as well

 

[AYanguas]

Then waiting for anyone to comment on the Atmos mix, before I buy

Just got my copy from ImportCDs for $41.99. I stumbled on their having a copy by blind luck.
I hope to spin it yet this week but there are family issues afoot ...

A strong contender for album of the year, for me.
Among my favorite ever musical experiences, in certain ways.

Is there a poll thread? It sure deserves one.

I've purchased the Atmos download from the IAA website. It was very convenient!
The music didn't do it for me, but if you enjoyed this album, I suggest you check out some of Fabrizio De Andre's studio albums (he collaborated with PFM and Mussida in the 70s).
While listening to "Il Pianeta della Musica", I immediately thought of "Sidun" from "Creuza De Ma". The entire album is a great experiment in world music, and is considered on of the best Italian albums ever by Rolling Stones.

This is a live version of Sidun. The entire album is available on all streaming platforms. It was also remixed in 2014, but I highly prefer the original stereo mix.
